Perhaps our biggest personal transition is our preparation for an emptier nest. Jonathan has decided to move to Kentucky where he will live with my brother’s family to finish high school. Jonathan and I will accompany Ricardo to Kentucky for meetings in May to prepare for his official move in July. Our washing machine will probably be spitting out mascara-stained tissues in a few months!
Transitions can sometimes be difficult and painful. Transitions can also be exciting and rejuvenating, filled with hope and new possibilities. Juliana’s transition to college-life has certainly been a combination of all of it.
Transitions are a natural part of life…in fact they are signs of growth. Let’s pray together that God will give us all the grace to transition easily into whatever He has in store for us. “For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the Lord, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.” (Jeremiah 29:11)
May His name be praised as we transition through life,
Ricardo, Beth, Juliana and Jonathan
